We give sufficient cohomological criteria for the classes of given varieties over a field $k$ to be algebraically independent in the Grothendieck ring of varieties over $k$ and construct some examples.

Let k be a field. Let K_0(V_k) denote the quotient of the free abelian group generated by the geometrically reduced varieties over k, modulo the relations of the form [X]=[X-Y]+[Y] whenever Y is a closed subvariety of X. Product of…

We compute the Grothendieck group of the category of abelian varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$. We also compute the Grothendieck group of the category of $A$-isotypic abelian varieties, for any simple abelian variety $A$,…

Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory machinery is applied to motivic homotopy theory, producing an interesting motivic homotopy type. Over a field F of characteristic zero, its path components receive a surjective ring homomorphism from the…

This paper proves two theorems (1) Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. I prove (Theorem 2.1.1) that if, $p > 13$ or $p = 11$, then the isomorphism class of any supersingular elliptic curve is a zero divisor in…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety with a faithful $G$-action, and $Y$ be a resolution of singularities of $X/G$. Larsen and Lunts asked whether $[X/G]-[Y]$ is divisible by $[\mathbb{A}^1]$ in the…

This monograph is devoted to a comprehensive study of graded rings and graded K-theory. A bird's eye view of the graded module theory over a graded ring gives an impression of the module theory with the added adjective "graded" to all its…

There are two abelian groups which can naturally be associated to an additive category A: the split Grothendieck group of A and the triangulated Grothendieck group of the homotopy category of (bounded) complexes in A. We prove that these…

We extend the notion of a purely infinite simple C*-algebra to the context of unital rings, and we study its basic properties, specially those related to K-Theory. For instance, if $R$ is a purely infinite simple ring, then $K_0(R)^+=…

If $G$ is a finite group, the Grothendieck group ${\mathbf{K}}\_G(G)$ of the category of $G$-equivariant ${\mathbb{C}}$-vector bundles on $G$ (for the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation) is endowed with a structure of (commutative)…

A full subcategory of modules over a commutative ring $R$ is wide if it is abelian and closed under extensions. Hovey \cite{wide} gave a classification of wide subcategories of finitely presented modules over regular coherent rings in terms…

As the first main result of this article, we prove that if $e$ and $e'$ are idempotents of a commutative ring $A$, then there is a canonical isomorphism of $A$-modules: $$Ae\oplus Ae'\simeq Ae/Ae(1-e')\oplus Ae'/Ae'(1-e)\oplus…

We prove the triviality of the Grothendieck ring of a integer-valued field K under slight conditions on the logical language and on K. We construct a definable bijection from the plane K^2 to itself minus a point. When we specialize to…

We realize a graded variant $K_0(Var_k^{dim})$ of the Grothendieck ring of varieties as a quadratic extension of the subring $K_0(Var_k^{sp})$ spanned by classes of smooth and proper varieties. As such, there exists a natural involution…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero containing all roots of unity and $K=k((t))$. We build a ring morphism from the Grothendieck group of semi-algebraic sets over $K$ to the Grothendieck group of motives of rigid analytic varieties…

We show that isomorphisms of fundamental groups of elementary anabelian varieties -- varieties obtained as iterated fibrations of hyperbolic curves -- over sub-$p$-adic fields correspond bijectively to isomorphisms of varieties. Moreover,…

We consider the model-theoretic Grothendieck ring of definable sets in ordered abelian groups. It is well-known that $\mathrm{K} \mathbb{Q} \cong \mathbb{Z}[T]/(T^2 + T)$ and $\mathrm{K} \mathbb{Z} =0$, but surprisingly little is known…

We associate a monoidal category $\mathcal{H}_B$, defined in terms of planar diagrams, to any graded Frobenius superalgebra $B$. This category acts naturally on modules over the wreath product algebras associated to $B$. To $B$ we also…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…

Eilenberg's variety theorem, a centerpiece of algebraic automata theory, establishes a bijective correspondence between varieties of languages and pseudovarieties of monoids. In the present paper this result is generalized to an abstract…
